Holiday Reds

Red has always been one of my favorite colors and is perfect for the holidays! My sparkly red dress has that old Hollywood glamour look to it with a striking feminine feel.

Wishing you all a happy holiday season! 

         

Sketch

The ultimate place to do afternoon tea time in London is at Sketch. If you are going for unique and very quirky...Sketch is your place! Every room is themed, and if you do afternoon tea then you will be seated in the Pink room. All the food was delicious! The bathroom was my favorite room with colorful skylights and egg shaped stalls! 

 

            

Un jour a Paris

After a quick train ride through the underwater water tunnel connecting London and Paris, we headed straight to the Eiffel Tower to enjoy lunch and a view of the city.

A day in Paris would not be complete without a quick stop at Laduree, my favorite macron bakery in the whole world!

Purple glamour

A little bit of purple glamour! I fell in love with this ruffle dress from Maia (available at Nordstrom) as it reminded me of my ballerina days. Paired with my favorite heels from Prada.

Kensington Palace

Kensington Palace, the official residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Unfortunately I did not get to see them while there, but maybe next time!

The renowned beautiful gardens of Kensington Palace are a must see! 

From London to Paris

One thing I love about Europe is quick and easy travel from country to country. From London we took a two hour train ride to Paris. The adventure started out early in the morning at St. Pancras station with its beautiful Victorian architecture. I would say my outfit is very Parisian! Stay tuned for my next post in Paris!

Royal visit to Buckingham Palace

A trip to London would not be complete without a visit to the Palace! Buckingham Palace only allows visitors a few times a year and it so happen to be when we were visiting. The Palace is breath taking! Unfortunately no photography allowed inside but I got some amazing shots outside and in the garden. After our visit we had some coffee and tea in the Garden Cafe.

Pastel Homes and Nottinghill

London is charming and beyond! So much rich history and beautiful architecture throughout the city, but my all-time favorite is Nottinghill. It is filled with the cutest pastel homes! I could see myself living in this part of London, my outfits would match the homes everyday!
